Playyyyy Ballllll

Just because it’s not baseball season doesn’t mean you can’t have fun at the ballpark. This weekend, you’ll be able to play golf at Marlins Park. The Miami Marlins have partnered with Stadium Links to transform Marlins Park into a one-of-a-kind nine-hole golf course for three days. Tee times will be offered early morning and ending in the evening. The ballpark lights will illuminate the entire course under the night sky, which could make this a perfect date idea.
